Removing an instance group from a placement group

If you do not have the Yandex Cloud CLI yet, install and initialize it.

The folder specified in the CLI profile is used by default. You can specify a different folder through the --folder-name or --folder-id parameter.

1. See the description of the CLI command for updating a group:

   yc compute instance-group update --help
   

2. Get a list of instance groups in the default folder:

   yc compute instance-group list
   

   Result:

   yc compute instance-group list
   +----------------------+-----------------------+------+
   |          ID          |         NAME          | SIZE |
   +----------------------+-----------------------+------+
   | amc65sbgfqeq******** | first-instance-group  |    2 |
   +----------------------+-----------------------+------+
   

3. Select ID of the instance group in question.

4. Delete the placement_policy section from the YAML file you used to create the group, e.g., specification.yaml. If this YAML file is missing, get info on the instance group and create a new file. For more information, see Creating a fixed-size instance group.

5. Update the instance group in the default folder:

   yc compute instance-group update --id <instance_group_ID> --file specification.yaml
   

Instance Groups will initiate removing the instance group from the placement group.
